IMPROVEMENT IN AUTOMATIC FLY-BRUSHES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No- 203,462, dated May 7, 1878; application filed March 30, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES P. KELSO, of Morgantown, in the county of Morgan and State of Indiana, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Fly-Brushes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of vertical section of my fly-brush, and Fig. 2

is a perspective detail, and Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views thereof.

The nature of my mvention consists in the construction and arrangement of a vibrating -fiy-brush operated by c1ock-gearing,as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

The annexed drawing, to which reference is made, fully illustrates my invention.

A represents a box of any suitable dimensions and of any desired material.

In this box is arranged a clock-work, B, run by means of a spring, G, in the usual manner. On the last shaft a of the train of gearing is secured a wheel or disk, b, havings cogs :0 arranged in a semicircle on its face. This wheel meshes with two series of cogs, y and 2, arranged on an upright shaft, D, near the lower end thereof, said series of cogs running about half-way around.

The wheel b,-gearing into the upper row of cogs y, drives the shaft half-way around, and then gears into the lower series :2, leaving the upper row at the same time, and driving the shaft halfway around in the opposite direction, thus making two vibrations of the shaft D for each revolution of the half-cogged wheel 7;.

This device may be used for various other purposes where a vibratorymovement is desired, as well as for a fly-brush.

of a set-screw, cl, passing through one end of the block. From the opposite end of said block projects a bolt, 6, upon which is a washer, i, and thumb-nut h. In this end of the block F are made two holes for the insertion of the.

bent ends of two arms, G G, to which the brushes H H are connected, said arms being held by screwing up the nut h, so as to clamp the arms between the end of the block and the washer.

The arms G G can be adjusted so as to stand in a horizontal position, or at any angle desired above or below the horizontal line.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a vibrating fiy-brush, or other vibrating machinery operated by clock-work, the combination, with the train of gearing B and its operating spring (3, of the wheel or disk b, having a semicircular row of cogs, 00., on the face, and the shaft D arranged at right angles to the axis of the wheel I), and provided with two series of cogs, y and z, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. In combination with the shaft D, the pen forated block F, provided with set-screw d, bolt e, washer i, and thumb-nut h, and the hooked arms G G, with brushes H H, substan tially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

JAMES P. Knnso.
